The Bear Course is one of two courses at the Bear Creek Golf Complex; it is a championship-length course while the other, the Cub Course, is an executive length course. The Bear Course is an inland, links-style course with rolling fairways and well-manicured greens. Strategically placed bunkers situated throughout the course add some challenge to the course. A round of golf on this course can be played in less than four hours. The Bear Creek Golf Complex, in addition to the two courses, also offers a full grass driving range, two putting greens, and a short game area with a bunker.

Great course

The course is in awesome shape from the boxes to fairways to bunkers to greens. Layout will seem a little repetitive but overall, fun to play

Course conditions solid. Pace of play and staff poor.

Supposed to play 18, left after 9 holes. Near 3 hours for 9 holes, 10 minute wait on every tee box and it wasn't even cart path only. Ranger had the gal to tell us "be ready to hit" as if we were the issue. Beer cart girl left the course at 3:30 despite a packed course on a Saturday. Poorly run on a Saturday at a course in pretty good shape.

Paid too much

$65 on golf now $95 walk-in rate for a round of golf. No problem. Announced cart path only when we got to hole 1. That’s a problem! It’s an ok course if they price themselves for what the course is. We made it to hole 4 and cart lady says it’s her last round. Really 230pm on a Saturday? If you make people walk the whole course in 98 degrees you would think the beverage cart would be there til the end of the day. Not really one to speak badly but seriously! Glad Arizona has a lot of other choices to pick from. Hope management realizes that as well.

Decent track

I enjoyed the round. Conditions were good for this time of year and over seeding. Car path only, but we were 3 1/2 hours playing time. Course was not overly challenging, but had some decent holes on it.

Greens were slow, but that seems to be the theme during our stay in Phoenix, over seeding makes for slow greens

Won’t return til next summer

Can’t believe I paid $70 at 4pm for cart path only, over seeded fairways and shaggy greens. That was my mistake but won’t be returning til next summer when the prices are back to normal. Staff is always friendly I just wish they had a marshal to keep up pace of play
